“iMac Pro combines the incredible design of the iMac with the most
powerful workstation architecture we’ve ever built,” said John Ternus,
Apple’s vice president of Hardware Engineering. “iMac is the most
popular desktop for our pro users due to its amazing display and elegant
design, so we completely re-engineered it to deliver performance far
beyond what anyone thought possible in an all-in-one.”

Workstation-Class Performance in an iMac Design

With next-generation processors, a stunning Retina 5K display, the most
powerful graphics ever in a Mac, super-fast storage and advanced I/O,
iMac Pro is designed to handle the most demanding pro workflows and is
the first all-in-one built from the ground up to deliver true
workstation-class performance. Featuring an all-new thermal
architecture, iMac Pro delivers up to 80 percent more cooling capacity
in the same amazingly quiet, thin and seamless aluminum and glass
enclosure customers know and love.

Still just 5mm at its edge, iMac Pro comes in a stunning new space gray
finish with a matching Magic Keyboard™, Magic Mouse® and optional Magic
Trackpad®, and features the best Mac display ever, with 500 nits of
brightness, a P3 wide color gamut and support for over 1 billion colors,
delivering an even more vivid and true-to-life viewing experience. iMac
Pro also comes with four microphones with beamforming technology, a new
1080p FaceTime® HD camera with enhanced low-light performance, and new
speakers that are up to 50 percent louder.

The Most Advanced Graphics Ever in a Mac

Featuring a next-generation compute core and up to 16GB of on-package
high-bandwidth memory (HBM2), iMac Pro with the Vega GPU delivers up to
an amazing 11 Teraflops of single-precision compute power for real-time
3D rendering and high frame rate VR. And for half-precision computation,
ideal for machine learning, iMac Pro delivers up to an incredible 22
Teraflops of performance.

iMac Pro also supports up to 4TB of SSD and up to 128GB of ECC memory,
and with four Thunderbolt 3 ports, can connect up to two
high-performance RAID arrays and two 5K displays at the same time. For
the first time ever on a Mac, iMac Pro features 10Gb Ethernet for up to
10 times faster networking.

Delivering Power to the Pro

iMac Pro takes Mac performance to a whole new level, even when compared
to our fastest quad-core iMac.*

— 3D designers can visualize huge 3D models and render scenes up to 3.4
times faster.

— Developers can run multiple virtual machines and test environments,
and compile code up to 2.4 times faster.

— Scientists and researchers can manipulate massive data sets and
complex simulations, visualizing data up to 5 times faster.

— Photographers can work with enormous files and perform image
processing up to 4.1 times faster.

— Music producers can bounce (export) massive multi-track projects up to
4.6 times faster and use up to 12.4 times as many real-time plug-ins.

— Video editors can edit up to eight streams of 4K video, or edit 4.5K
RED RAW video and 8K ProRes 4444 at full resolution in real time without
rendering. The iMac Pro can also export HEVC video 3 times faster.

A New Level of Integration and Security

iMac Pro brings a new level of integration and security to the Mac with
the T2 chip, Apple’s second-generation custom Mac silicon. By designing
and integrating several new controllers — such as the System Management
Controller, image signal processor, audio controller and SSD controller
— T2 delivers new capabilities to the Mac like enhanced imaging
processing for the FaceTime HD camera. T2 also enables a new level of
security by including a secure enclave coprocessor that provides the
foundation for new encrypted storage and secure boot capabilities.
Dedicated AES hardware encrypts data on the SSD without affecting
performance, while secure boot ensures that only trusted software loads
at startup.

In addition to the new iMac Pro, Apple is working on a completely
redesigned, next-generation Mac Pro® architected for pro customers who
need the highest performance, high-throughput system in a modular,
upgradeable design, as well as a new high-end pro display.

Pricing and Availability

iMac Pro is available on December 14, starting at an Apple retail price
of $4,999 (US). More details can be found at apple.com/imac-pro.
